The Man Who Powered His Daughters To Greatness Against All Odds! In 1980, a man named Richard turned on his television and saw a female player from Romania receiving a check for $40,000 after winning a tennis tournament. The whole scene was enough to shock Richard. This was more than his annual salary. Within a few years, he would decide that his daughters would also play tennis. After turning off the television, he sat down and wrote a 78-page document outlining a plan for his two young daughters to flee their hometown of Compton, California, an area known for notorious black gangster violence. Now there was also a problem in that Richard didn't know anything about tennis, he didn't have the money to pay for his daughters to train for this expensive sport, and maybe it's incredible to you that his daughters weren't even born yet at that time. Over the next five years, he collected tennis-related magazines and video cassettes. He also taught himself to play tennis. Five years later, according to his plan, Richard had a tennis racquet in the hands of his two daughters, as well as the same magazines and videos and what he had learned from them. He was both the father and coach of these little girls and he began to teach them the game of tennis. Unable to afford the basics of playing the game, Richard would go to local country clubs to collect used tennis balls from bins and load them into a shopping cart, so that his daughters could practice with these used balls on public tennis courts. Richard was overprotective and physically strong as a father, and was often beaten by local gang bullies while trying to protect his daughters from harassment during tennis training. On one occasion when he refused to leave the practice court with his daughters, they broke his nose, jaw and fingers, and knocked out several of his teeth. Richard wrote in his diary, "After today, history will remember the 'toothless' man as a monument of courage." Since tennis was a predominantly white sport at the time, people would stare and shout at the black family as Richard and his daughters traveled to various tennis courts for junior tournaments. Once the girls asked, "Daddy, why do people stare at us so badly," to which he replied, "Because they are not used to seeing such beautiful people before." The wheel of time turned quickly and the calendar page turned sharply to the year 2000, when a tall, lean black girl set out on a journey to play the Wimbledon tournament final, and thousands of miles away from her native ghetto, Richard watched his eldest daughter play in the grass fields in front of London's elite, celebrities and royalty. No one had ever seen a tennis player with such a powerful serve and fast footwork, nor had they ever heard shots so loud. It was like every ball was being beaten and every ball was crying out in pain. When the girl reached a stage where victory was ahead of fear, the girl looked at her father standing in the stands who was encouraging her to achieve victory by shouting loudly. Richard always told his daughters, "One day, we're going to win Wimbledon, and it's not going to be for us. It will be for the helpless and poor people of America." Richard's 20-year-long struggle plan had now reached a critical point in history. As the opponent's ball hit the net, cameras caught a teary-eyed Richard dancing wildly as he watched his daughter, Venus Williams, win the first of her seven Grand Slam titles. Over the next several years, Richard also watched his youngest daughter, Serena, win 23 major tournaments and become one of the greatest tennis players of all time. For all their success on the tennis court, what Venus and Serena endured off the court is the most impressive part of their journey. From spectators, who were given the nickname the "Williams Brothers" because of their physique, to comments in the media calling Serena's mixed-race daughter "chocolate milk," the two sisters' resilient and kind personalities helped them stand up to racism and bigotry their father said. The best way to avenge is to answer with her racquet inside the tennis court. This inspiring struggle of these two sisters inspired black people and athletes around the world.

THE PROFOUND SIGNIFICANT OF EASTER: A CELEBRATION OF REDEMPTION AND RENEWAL! Easter, a joyous and sacred celebration observed by millions worldwide, holds profound significance that extends beyond the festive traditions and merriment. At its core, Easter represents the pivotal events of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of life over death and light over darkness. The narrative of Easter is rooted in the Christian faith, where Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly surrendered to crucifixion, bearing the weight of humanity's sins. His death on the cross signified the ultimate sacrifice, providing redemption for all who would believe in Him. The resurrection of Jesus on the third day, as documented in the New Testament, stands as a testament to His divine power and the promise of eternal life. The symbolism embedded in the Easter story speaks directly to the human condition. The death of Jesus represents the death to sin, an acknowledgment of the imperfections and transgressions that separate us from a holy God. Through faith in Christ, believers are called to a life of repentance and spiritual rebirth, symbolically dying to sin and embracing a path of righteousness. The resurrection of Jesus embodies the promise of new life and the hope that believers can live a sinless life through the empowerment of Christ. It signifies the victory over sin and death, offering believers the assurance of forgiveness and the strength to pursue a life that honors God. This transformative journey is central to the Christian faith, encouraging believers to reflect on their spiritual walk and renew their commitment to living according to Christ's teachings. As Christians celebrate Easter, they are reminded of the profound love and grace extended to humanity through Jesus Christ. The season invites introspection, gratitude, and a renewed focus on spiritual growth. It serves as a powerful reminder that, through faith, believers can experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from knowing they are forgiven and loved. In essence, Easter is not just a celebration of past events but a living testament to the enduring hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ. It calls believers to embrace the fullness of life in Christ, to live out their faith with purpose, and to share the message of hope and redemption with a world in need.

🇳🇬 Wilayatul Faqih NG 🇮🇷: While many, including ourselves, have criticisms of the usefulness of negotiations with the US, such criticism should always be constructive and never weaken the Islamic Republic through slander, such as painting the Leader as a powerless figurehead who has been overridden by the liberal fifth column. No criticism should be made in a way weaken the Islamic Republic, which Haj Qassem called a shrine (a holy sanctity that must be protected). According to this clip from late Ayatollah Fateminia (ra), weakening the Islamic Republic is the gravest sin, worse than alcohol, which only affect a handful of individuals. The liberals were about to arrange direct negotiations with the US which would put all subjects on deck, including missile programs and support for resistance groups, until the Leader put his foot down. These negotiations would not happen without his approval or oversight, therefore he approved indirect negotiations where none of Iran's red lines are even up for discussion. This caused the US to make great concessions, because otherwise the meeting would have been canceled prior or cut halfway through. There are certain voices who are trying to paint the Leader as a weak, powerless figurehead who has been sidelined. This is a grave fitna, because the Zionist Jews and the liberal imperialists have tapped out their customer base when it comes to getting an obnoxious minority of ultra-liberals to withdraw their support and confidence from the Islamic Republic. The next frontier is getting religious revolutionaries to lose confidence and pull their support from the Islamic Republic. There are certain voices who have gone so far to label Iran as a Jewish Republic due to this. Should we reveal that one of these voices is hiding his fully Jewish identity while claiming to be another ethnicity? Wouldn't be ironic that such a person who goes around calling everyone a Jew agent and Jew simp is of a fully Jewish background which he hides similar to Dan Burros, the Jewish man who hid his identity to rise to the top of the KKK and American Nazi Party in the 1950s and 60s? Whatever criticisms there are to make against "reformists," the LAST person that should do it is someone who is hiding their Jewish identity. Now, the issue is that it is hidden. In Islam, we have no problem with what someone is born into, so long as they are sincere. We have martyrs, such as Edoardo Agnelli (ra), whose mother was one of the most powerful Jewish women in Italy. Hiding and lying about it, however, raises obvious red flags. We're open to the possibility that there is a totally innocent reason for such hiding, and will apologize profusely if this is proven to be the case, but with such fitnamongering, we aren't holding our breath. A person whose origins are under question should keep their mouth shut regarding Iranian internal issues, painting the Leader as weak and powerless in the name of claiming to love the Leader and the revolution. Now, we won't name who this is. There is an escalation ladder. Want to keep up the charade? Stop the fitna against the Leader and stay in your lane. Want to try and slander us? The moment we hear anything, the floodgates of truth will open. Want to try and quietly kill us for "knowing too much"? Our families are instructed to tell the truth about this questionable character even if we die from natural causes or even from slipping on a banana peel, so pray for us to have a long life to maximize the length of the charade because no matter what is done to us, the truth will come out one day. Stop the fitna and spreading pessimism about the Islamic Republic, and the escalation ladder will stay where it is. However, that is what is within our own power. We cannot stop that other people might do a simple internet search to find out that the people spreading fitna to get religious revolutionaries to lose hope in the Leader and stop supporting the Islamic Republic is a bit gefilte fishy himself. We fear no one but God and will expose any questionable character if need be to protect our Leader. Do not test us. 📸 Imam Khamenei met with commanders of Armed Forces on the occasion of the Iranian New Year A group of commanders from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces met with Imam Khamenei, the Commander-in-Chief, on Sunday afternoon, April 13, 2025, on the occasion of the Iranian New Year. 📲 KHAMENEI.IR | 𝕏 (Official) | 𝕏 (Website) ✅ @Khamenei_en ‍📸 The #ZOF 🏴‍☠ (“iDF” aka iOF) terrorist organization admits to the elimination of one more of its vile terrorists and injury of five others, including three seriously, in a #Palestinian #Resistance operation in the northern #Gaza Strip earlier today: ☠ Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, a tracker in the “Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade”. 💥 According to an initial ZOF probe, at 12:58 p.m., a group of ZOF terrorists driving along a ZOF logistics road, close to an army encampment inside Gaza, came under fire by the brave Palestinian Resistance mujahideen, who had come out of a tunnel shaft, launched an RPG at the #Zionist army vehicle. 💥 Three ZOF terrorists of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit were wounded in the attack.

Press TV: Deadly US strikes hit Yemen fuel port used by Huthis https://jordantimes.com/news/region/deadly-us-strikes-hit-yemen-fuel-port-used-huthis <!-- google_ad_section_start -->SANAA — The US military said it had destroyed a key Yemeni fuel port as it targets the country's Huthi rebels, who said Friday that 20 people had been killed in the strikes.   The attack on the Ras Issa fuel port aimed to cut off a source of supplies and funds for the Iran-backed Huthis, the US military said.   Washington has hammered the Huthis with near-daily air strikes since March 15 in a bid to end their attacks on civilian shipping and military vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.   The rebels began their attacks in late 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's army said Friday they had intercepted an incoming missile from Yemen.   In a statement, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said: "US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Huthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Huthi efforts to terrorise the entire region for over 10 years.    "The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Huthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen".   Ships "have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Issa" despite Washington designating the rebels a foreign terrorist organisation earlier this year, the military command added, without specifying the source of the fuel.   Huthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said the preliminary death toll stood at 20, including five paramedics.   There were also "50 wounded workers and employees at the Ras Issa oil port, following the American aggression", he said on X.   "The death toll is likely to rise as body parts are still being identified," he added.   Fireball    The port lies along the west coast of Yemen on the Red Sea.   In images broadcast early Friday by the rebels' Al-Masira channel, which it presented as the "first images of the US aggression" against the port, a fireball lit up the area around the ships, while thick columns of smoke rose above what appeared to be an ongoing blaze.   "Civil defence rescue teams and paramedics are making every effort to search for and extract victims and extinguish the fire," said Alasbahi.   The Huthis have regularly fired missiles and drones on Israel since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023 following an attack on Israel by Hamas militants.   "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted," Israel's army said Friday on Telegram, adding that aerial defence systems had been deployed "to intercept the threat".   Huthi attacks have hampered shipping through the Suez Canal -- a vital route that normally carries about 12 percent of world shipping traffic -- forcing many companies into a costly detour around the tip of southern Africa.   The United States first began conducting strikes against the Huthis under president Joe Biden's administration, and his successor President Donald Trump has vowed that military action against the rebels would continue until they are no longer a threat to shipping.   On Thursday evening, France's Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said a French frigate in the Red Sea destroyed a drone launched from Yemen.   "Our armed forces continue their commitment to ensuring maritime freedom of movement," he said on X.   US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told journalists Thursday that the Chinese satellite firm Chang Guang Satellite Technology Company was "directly supporting Iran-backed Huthi terrorist attacks on US interests".   "Their actions -- and Beijing's support of the company, even after our private engagements with them -- is yet another example of China's empty claims to support peace," she said.   Bruce did not initially provide details on the nature of the company's support for the rebels, but later referred to "a Chinese company providing satellite imagery to the Huthis." <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  Hizbollah 'will not let anyone disarm' it, says chief https://jordantimes.com/news/region/hizbollah-will-not-let-anyone-disarm-it-says-chief <!-- google_ad_section_start -->BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hizbollah "will not let anyone disarm" it, the Lebanese group's leader Naim Qassem said Friday, as Washington presses Beirut to compel the Iran-backed movement to hand over its weapons.   Hezbollah, long a dominant force in Lebanese politics, was left weakened by more than a year of hostilities with Israel sparked by the Gaza war, including an Israeli ground incursion and two months of heavy bombardment that decimated the group's leadership.   The fighting was largely brought to an end by a November ceasefire, but not before the group's longtime leader and Qassem's predecessor Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike.   "We will not let anyone disarm Hezbollah or disarm the resistance" against Israel, Qassem said in remarks on a Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel.    "We must cut this idea of disarmament from the dictionary."   His comments came hours after another Hizbollah official said the group refused to discuss handing over its weapons unless Israel withdrew completely from south Lebanon and halted its "aggression".   "It is not a question of disarming," Wafic Safa said in an interview with Hizbollah’s Al-Nur radio station.   "What the president (Joseph Aoun) said in his inauguration speech is a defensive strategy."    Safa, believed by experts to belong to the movement's most radical faction, said Hezbollah had conveyed its position to Aoun, who on Tuesday said he sought "to make 2025 the year of restricting arms to the state".   In his interview, Safa asked: "Wouldn't it be logical for Israel to first withdraw, then release the prisoners, then cease its aggression... and then we discuss a defensive strategy?   "The defensive strategy is about thinking about how to protect Lebanon, not preparing for the party to hand over its weapons."   Analysts have said that the once unthinkable idea of Hezbollah disarming may no longer be so, and may even be inevitable.   Problem is Israel'    Under the November ceasefire, Israel was meant to withdraw all of its forces from south Lebanon.   But despite the deal, its troops have remained at five south Lebanon positions that they deem "strategic".   Israel has also continued to carry out near-daily strikes against Lebanon -- including on Friday -- saying it is targeting members of Hezbollah.   Under the truce, Hizbollah was to pull its fighters back north of Lebanon's Litani River and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.   Lebanon's army has been deploying in the south as Israeli forces pulled back.   Hezbollah says the ceasefire does not apply to the rest of Lebanon, despite being based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of non-state groups.   Hizbollah was the only group to keep its weapons after Lebanon's 15-year civil war ended in 1990, saying that they were for "resistance" against Israel, which continued to occupy the south until 2000.   US special envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus, who visited Beirut this month, said Washington continued to press Beirut "to fully fulfil the cessation of hostilities, and that includes disarming Hizbollah and all militias".    Safa said on Friday that both Hezbollah and the Lebanese army were respecting the terms of the truce.   "The problem is Israel, which has not done so," he said.   On Saturday, a source close to Hezbollah told AFP that the group had ceded to the Lebanese army around 190 of its 265 military positions identified south of the Litani. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  5yrs ago April 2020 What a strange world we live in Covid-19 ClownWorld Restrictions Lockdowns Masks US to withdraw some 1,000 troops from Syria https://jordantimes.com/news/world/us-withdraw-some-1000-troops-syria <!-- google_ad_section_start -->WASHINGTON — The United States will roughly halve the number of troops it has deployed in Syria to less than 1,000 in the coming months, the Pentagon said Friday.   Washington has had troops in Syria for years as part of international efforts against the Daesh terror group, which rose out of the chaos of the country's civil war to seize swaths of territory there and in neighboring Iraq over a decade ago.   The brutal extremists have since suffered major defeats in both countries, but still remain a threat.   "Today the secretary of defense directed the consolidation of US forces in Syria... to select locations," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, without specifying the sites where this would take place.   "This deliberate and conditions-based process will bring the US footprint in Syria down to less than 1,000 US forces in the coming months," he said.   President Donald Trump has long been skeptical of Washington's presence in Syria, ordering the withdrawal of troops during his first term but ultimately leaving American forces in the country.   As Islamist-led rebels pressed forward with a lightning offensive last December that ultimately overthrew Syrian president Bashar Al Assad, Trump said Washington should "NOT GET INVOLVED!"   "Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT," Trump, then the president-elect, wrote on his Truth Social platform.   Years of war against Daesh   The 2014 onslaught by Daesh prompted a US-led air campaign in support of local ground forces -- the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi government units.   Washington also deployed thousands of American personnel to advise and assist local forces, with US troops in some cases directly fighting the jihadists.   After years of bloody warfare, Iraq's prime minister announced a final victory over IS in December 2017, while the SDF proclaimed the defeat of the group's "caliphate" in March 2019 after seizing its final bastion in Syria.   But the extremists still have some fighters in the countryside of both countries, and US forces have long carried out periodic strikes and raids to help prevent the group's resurgence.   Washington stepped up military action against Daesh in Syria in the wake of Assad's overthrow, though it has more recently shifted its focus to strikes targeting Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have been attacking international shipping since late 2023.   US forces in Iraq and Syria were repeatedly targeted by pro-Iran militants following the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, but responded with heavy strikes on Tehran-linked targets, and the attacks largely subsided.   Washington for years said it had some 900 military personnel in Syria as part of international efforts against Daesh, but the Pentagon announced in December 2024 that the number of US troops in the country had doubled to around 2,000 earlier in the year.   While the United States is reducing its forces in Syria, Iraq has also sought an end to the US-led coalition's presence there, where Washington has said it has some 2,500 troops.   The United States and Iraq have announced that the coalition would end its decade-long military mission in federal Iraq by the end of 2025, and by September 2026 in the autonomous Kurdistan region. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->Image:  A few minutes ago, the Russian Defense Ministry published unique footage of the destruction of another American multiple launch rocket system 'HIMARS'.

Manchester United Get Double Suspension Boost After Dramatic Europa League Win vs Lyon Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as key midfield duo Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro both avoided suspension in Thursday night’s dramatic victory over Lyon, according to Manchester Evening News. United edged past the French side in a thrilling 5-4 win at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate triumph to reach the last four of the competition. Goals from Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire ensured Ruben Amorim's men kept their European dream alive — and with it, a vital chance to secure Champions League football next season. However, the victory wasn’t just about the scoreline. Heading into the quarter-final second leg, both Ugarte and Casemiro were walking a disciplinary tightrope. Having each picked up two yellow cards earlier in the tournament, a further booking would have triggered a one-match suspension — ruling them out of the semi-final first leg. But both players held their nerve and steered clear of the referee’s notebook during a heated and high-stakes encounter, giving United a major boost ahead of their semi-final showdown. The relief is even more palpable given UEFA rules: all accumulated yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals, meaning Ugarte and Casemiro now begin the semi-final phase with a clean slate. This reset dramatically lowers the risk of missing the final due to a yellow card suspension, allowing Amorim more tactical flexibility as United prepare to face a high-energy Athletic Bilbao side. United’s European run now offers a lifeline in what has otherwise been a turbulent campaign. With Premier League inconsistencies leaving their top-four hopes in doubt, winning the Europa League presents not just silverware, but a golden ticket back into the Champions League.

FISCAL DISCIPLINE, REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEV.- GOV UMO ENO ... as Senate President applauds his leadership style Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has emphasized on the need for states and local governments to embrace fiscal discipline and revenue diversification to achieve sustainable development. The Governor stated this while delivering a public lecture on the theme: "Leading Economic Development in Sub-Nationals of the Nigerian Federation: The ARISE Agenda," at the University of Uyo. He noted that the ARISE Agenda was borne out of the desire to grow the economy while developing abundant human resources in the State, focuses on eight lofty goals including; Poverty reduction, Job creation, Price stability,sustainable economic growth, improved standard of living, environmental sustainability, highly educated, healthy and skilled people, and the Security of lives and property He further explained that the ARISE Agenda, a flagship economic blueprint that guides his administration's development efforts, is an acronym for ‘five-group aspirations’: Agricultural Revolution, Tourism Development and Environmental Management; Rural Development, Women & Youth Empowerment; Infrastructural Maintenance and Advancement; Security Management, Sound Educational and Health Sector Management; and Economic, Industrial and Social Advancement The Governor who holds a Doctorate degree in Public Administration from the University, said that since the inception of his administration, wastages in government have been minimized, and the government is determined to expand its revenue base by digitalization of government operations. "Soon, we will launch AKWAGIS, a digital platform where we will be collecting ground rent, which as we speak is in the region of N16 billion. Through this platform, we will be able to seamlessly offer Certificates of Occupancy, which would help attract businesses to our State. "We are also investing heavily in the tourism sector that has been variously described as the “New Black Gold.” From agricultural tourism, through our Ibom Model Farm, to medical tourism, with our planned Ibom International Medical Centre - a 200-bed hospital that will come with 24 different departments under one roof. This hospital, once completed, will compare to any such facility anywhere in the world. "The ARISE Resort, which we hope to commission in the first half of this year, the International Conference Centre, the Ibom Tropicana Hotel, which we are poised to complete will signpost our ascendancy as the tourism hub of our nation and bring in billions of Naira in revenue. " We remain committed to the growth and expansion of Ibom Air and work is ongoing in the Aviation Village, as part of our investments in the aviation eco- system. "We are committed to the human capital development of our people and this has been acknowledged by the Federal Government and the World Bank, leading to the launch two days ago, of the Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON. "We have achieved a success rate of 3.5% out of school children, against the national average of 25.6% - a truly remarkable feat. "We are positioning our State for growth beyond oil by these strategic investments in tourism and human capital development," he said. The Governor said to ensure the success of economic development in sub-nationals, policymakers must develop action plans before implementation, strengthen governance and institutional capacity, enhance internally generated revenue (IGR) to reduce reliance on federal allocations, promote regional economic cooperation and trade among states, encourage private sector-led development through investment incentives, and focus on collaboration rather than conflicts. He appreciated the crafters of the ARISE Agenda, and expressed his determination to go the extra mile to further development in the State, while urging policymakers, corporate bodies, the academia, and citizens to join hands with him in the journey towards a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally competitive sub-national economy. In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio applauded the Governor for his inclusive leadership disposition which according to him has engendered unprecedented peace and security in the State. Senator Akpabio who was represented by Dr. Saviour Enyiekere, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), also commended the Governor for his collaboration with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government, and assured of the support of the All Progressives Congress in the State to ensure the Governor's second term victory in 2027. Chairman of the Occasion, Emeritus Prof. Akpan Ekpo, the University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo and the Dean of the Host Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Christopher Ekong as well as Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Prof. Peter Esuh appreciated the Governor for accepting to share his thoughts through the public lecture, stressing that the ARISE Agenda is a comprehensive document that can drive development in the State and other sub-nationals. The event which attracted eminent personalities within and outside the State, had as discussants, Prof. Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice - Chancellor, Ignatius Aguru University of Education, Rivers State, and Prof. Ebebe Ukpong, a development expert and former Commissioner in the State. ______________________________________ I'm Kokoette Michael your EduPurpose Coach.
